Transcriptome analysis of broiler chick thymus after treatment of lipopolysaccharide derived from Salmonella typhimurium

Chick thymus is the critical site for T cell development and can be damaged by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Salmonella typhimurium, one of the most deleterious food-borne pathogens. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here we reported the first time-series transcriptome research of chick thymus after Salmonella LPS treatment. Overall design: 12 dUTP libraries of thymus samples of newly hatched male chicks were sequenced at 0, 12, 36 and 72 h post LPS treatment with 3 replications at each time point.
